I'm not sure about the pancakes but it occurred to me that with
the ridges he might apply for a role on Star Trek.

About the lips: perhaps some lipstick would work. I'm serious
here: a bit of colour might be enough. 
Another idea might be to add a cylinder component to the blob
slightly larger then the cylinder you cut out for his mouth.

I also realized that these test animations give a slightly
distorted view, or actually, an undistorted view that stresses
certain things I otherwise wouldn't notice. If for instance, he
would move his head a bit while talking you would get a better
'impression' (as opposed to an exact image).
